Youths Return From Camping Vacation at Battle Ground.

L. Harper and his camping party of boys returned Friday evening from a very enjoyable fourdays’ vacation spent at Battle Ground. The camp was a mile and a half from the Tippecanoe river and the boys were not able to fish or bathe very much, although they made one trip to the river. They also visited Lafayette and the state soldiers’ home and had a fine time. At the camp grounds they amused themselves playing tennis, croquet, baseball, etc. Those who formed the party were Lawrence McLain, Manley Price, Russell Clark, William Tilton, Paul Beam, George Padgitt, Elvyn Allman, Harry English, Raymond Dixie, Edwin Rhoads and Walter Randle. Elvyn Allman and Edwin Rhoads did not return from the camp, the former going to Lafayette to spend Sunday with relatives and Edwin remaining at the camp ground with relatives over Sunday.
